TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Puscas, Lewis Grab Disputed
Verdicts on PAL Fight Program
Jackie Puscas and Larry Lewis
were given disputed decisions
in feature bouts on the PAL
club boxing card at St. Mary's
gym Saturday night.
Puscas, national .AAU 135
pound champion who recently
took up living in Medford, was
handed a split verdict over Dale
Nicely smooth operating Port
land southpaw. The nod was a
reversal of a decision Puscas had
recently dropped to the same
foe and there were those in
good numbers in the packed
gym who thought that he had
dropped another fight. When
the decision was announced the
cat-calls came from all corners
of the building but were min
gled with some who thought it a
just verdict.
Nicely employed a nice right
hand jab and a good left cross
to make Puscas look bad at
times. Nicely's punches repeat
edly found their mark but
weren't'; Heavy enough to do
' much damage. Puscas, especial
ly after the first round, tried
often to land his howitzer and
although he scored several times
with his big bombs, Nicely al
ways managed to see that they
landed where . little damage
could result.
Best Boxing Match
Lewis also reversed a previ
Iacc hv nutoointins Darrell
KJ W J "J .
McQuary, Portland, via a split
decision. The state aau 114
pound chamD and the Multno
mah Athletic club ace staged by
far the best boxing match on
the 13-fight card and drew a
rousing round of applause when
it was over. Like the final scrap,
there were those in the crowd
thought McQuary was "robbed"'
but they were just about drown
ed out by the crowd of Lewis
supporters. The little champ is
just . about the most popular
fighter in the PAL stable.
: Loren Christean, 170, Med
ford, , was putting up a good
"fight " against ; . Mose .. Martinez,
165, Chiloquiri; and appeared to
be headed for victory until he
ran into an overhead left in-ihe
second round and was dropped
flat on his back. There appar
ently was some misunderstand
ing by Christean on the count
for he appeared to be waiting to
rise from one knee wheh Refe
ree Don Kane tolled the 10
count. Jerry . Jennings, 160, Ashland,
won a unanimous decision over
Ed Cole, 160, Chiloquin, in an
other decision which didn't satis
fy the crowd, who thought Cole
had earned the nod. ,
Bout Stopped ;
Dave Peters, 135, Portland,
lost on a technical knockout to
Porky Cole, 135, Chiloquin, in
the second round. Peters seemed
to be making a good account of
himself until he got caught in a
corner in the second round and
turned his back on Cole. He left
his head unprotected and under
AAU rules a fighter must pro
tect his head at all times. When
he didn't do this, Kane stopped
it.

Suffer Jolts
' By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
Duke, St. Louis and Brigham
Young.,-were jolted ,by the big
gest upsets of the basketball
week end and 'the result today
was that three more conference
races were scrambled for the
stretch run.
Duke's 80-77 defeat by Wake
Forest threw the Atlantic Coast
conference into a three-way tie;
St. Louis' 67-66 loss to Houston
boosted Houston into the Mis
souri Valley conference lead by
an eyelash; and Brig Young s
82-63 rout by Utah left the two
teams tied for the top spot in
the Skyline conference.
That just makes these races
typical of the entire national
picture for only UCLA in the
Pacific . Coast conference and
Southern Methodist in the
Southwest have "comfortable"
leads.
Wake Forest used . only six
players and sank 49 per cent of
its shots in toppling Duke. That
created a three-way tie at 9-2 in
the records among these two
teSms- and North Carolina, with
Tforth Carolina State actually
the most highly-regarded team
in the loop with the No. 4 na
tional ranking by : the United
Press Board of Coaches right
behind at 8-2.- The lineup will
be changed Tuesday night when
N.C. State meets Duke. "
"Things are very much the
same in almost every major con
ferences: Alabama is. only one-
game up on Vanderbilt and
Kentucky in the Southeastern
conference. George Washington
and West Virginia are tied in
the Southern; Illinois is one
game ahead of Iowa in the Big

Princeton in the Ivy; Kansas
State a half-game ahead of Iowa
St. in the Big Seven; and Texas
Tech one game ahead of West
Texas St. in the Border.
crowd a chance to exercise its
vocal chords. But it was Nored's
incessant pressing forward
which apparently caught the eye
of the officials.
Jimmy Evans, 95, Medford,
won a unanimous nod over Skip
Mills, 98, Chiloquin.
Jay Walker, 135, Medford,
was surprised in the first round
by Beanie Crest, 138, Chiloquin,
and dropped by an explosive
right to the jaw for an eight
count. Walker came storming
from his corner determined to
get it over with quick but
Crest, who showed an ocean of
skill and could be a good crowd
pleaser on future PAL cards,
slowed him down quick. Crest

Women Marines
Mark Anniversary
Today marks the thirteenth
anniversary .of the Women's Ma
rine corps. On Feb. 13, 1943,
the United States Marine Corps
started enlisting women to fill
a quota of 18,000 ' women Ma
rines. During World War II, women
marines were utilized in many
unusual fields such as parachute
rigging, control towers, motor
transport and the ground phase
of aviation. 1,000 women were
sent to Hawaii for duty with
Marine Corps garrison forces
there.
In September, 1946, all the
women marines except 200 were
discharged. In time, however,
the peed for the services of wo
men' was again realized and cul
minated in the Armed Services
Integration act of 1948.
Today there are approximate
ly 3,000 enlisted women Ma
rines and 100 women Marine
officers on active duty through
out the United States and Ha
waii. Women previously served in
the Marine Corps from August,
1918 to July, 1919, and were
called Marinettes.

The Pacific Coast Conference
basketball race resembled a two
divisional affair today despite
the best intentions of those who
decided the league should be
lumped into one unit.
Headed by proud UCLA, four
of the top five teams in the
standings all were members of
the old Southern Division from
California. The Washington Hus
kies were the only- representa
tive of the old Northern Divis
ion to make a showing. They are
holding fourth place, just ahead
of Stanford.
The Bruins virtually wrapped
up the PCC crown last weekend
by defeating Stanford twice, 50
48 and 81-72, in a pair of thrill
ers while Southern California
kept in second place with a dou
ble win over Washington State,
